concur - the words "paper cushioning packaging" in combination with a
picture search in your search engine give good results for local
producers/suppliers ...
some are very stable, even though the paper used tends to be harder and
more rigid compared to polymer-based paddings (bubble wrap / styrofoam
flakes)
Hope this helps
